About Hanna

Hanna is a quiet, close-knit community of around 700 people set in the high plains of south-central Wyoming. First built in the late 1800s as a coal town for the Union Pacific Railroad, it has grown into a peaceful spot where neighbors know each other and life moves at an easy pace. The wide-open landscape around town offers great hunting, fishing, and hiking, especially with the Medicine Bow Mountains just to the south.

Hanna Community Hall

Daily life centers on the local schools, with kids attending Hanna Elementary and H.E.M. Junior/Senior High right in town. Residents take pride in their roots with local traditions like the annual Coal Is King celebration, while enjoying low-stress, affordable living. Located along U.S. Highway 30, Hanna keeps you connected to nearby towns like Rawlins and Laramie while letting you enjoy small-town space and quiet.
